The Garden House

The two-story Garden House, originally the Dixon Brick House, is our newest extension of the Elkridge Furnace Inn. The interior has been recently renovated to express a contemporary country style, while the exterior expresses a contemporary Victorian blend with exposed brick & vinyl siding. The house itself dates back to 1830, under operation of Andrew & James Ellicott, the brothers who had our Manor House put up as their private residence. Although it remains unclear what the original use of the building was, it is thought to have been an additional worker’s dwelling.

This intimate, private venue includes the house with lighted adjoining sandstone patios, heated & air-conditioned permanent event tent. The tent can accommodate up to 60 guests, has a greenhouse, gardens, & an outdoor ceremony point with parking. The first floor interior of the house features two sitting rooms. Each room has a gas fireplace flanked by modern built in cabinets, shelving, & a foyer with two restrooms (one handicap accessible). The second floor interior staircase leads up to the bridal suite & private restroom in the rear wing.

The Ellicott and Dorsey Rooms are adjoining and perfect for most social events. When combined they can accommodate up to 48 guests for seated dining and roughly up to 75 guests with limited cocktail-style seating.

The Carroll and Patapsco Rooms are also adjoining. When combined they can accommodate up to 48 guests for seated dining, and almost 75 guests with limited cocktail-style seating.
